“…These items occur only infrequently in dogs' diet, especially those that live in close proximity to humans, as in the study area. Despite the low frequency, Travassos (1917) reported that Moniliformis moniliformis was present in dogs and Prosthenorchis pachyacanthus in wild canids. Since 51.5% of the maned wolves and 40% of the crab-eating foxes presented eggs of these parasites in fecal samples, and considering what the diet of these canids consists of, the infection may have occurred due to predation of rodents.…”

Over recent decades, diseases have been shown to be important causes of extinctions among wild species. Greater emphasis has been given to diseases transmitted by domestic animals, which have been increasing in numbers in natural areas, along with human populations. This study had the aim of investigating the presence of intestinal helminths in wild canids (maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus, and crab-eating fox, Cerdocyon thous) in the Serra do Cipó National Park (43-44° W and 19-20° S) and endo and ectoparasites of domestic dogs in the Morro da Pedreira Environmental Protection Area (an area surrounding the National Park). The Serra do Cipó is located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Among the enteroparasites found in domestic and wild canids, the following taxons were identified: Ancylostomidae, Trichuridae, Toxocara sp., Spirocerca sp., Physaloptera sp., Strongyloides sp., Cestoda, Dipylidium caninum, Diphyllobothriidae, Hymenolepidae, Anoplocephalidae, Trematoda, Acanthocephala and Isospora sp. Domestic dogs were positive for leishmaniasis and Babesia canis in serological tests. Among the ectoparasites, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Amblyomma cajennense and Ctenocephalides felis felis were observed in domestic dogs. Variations in the chaetotaxy of the meta-episternum and posterior tibia were observed in some specimens of C. felis felis.Keywords: Parasites, Canis familiaris, Chrysocyon brachyurus, Cerdocyon thous, conservation. ResumoNas últimas décadas, as doenças têm sido apontadas como importantes causas de extinção de espécies silvestres. Maior ênfase tem sido dada às doenças transmitidas por animais domésticos que crescem em número, bem como as populações humanas, em áreas naturais. O presente estudo objetivou verificar a presença de helmintos intestinais de canídeos silvestres (lobo-guará -Chrysocyon brachyurus e cachorro-do-mato -Cerdocyon thous) do Parque Nacional da Serra do Cipó (43-44° W e 19-20° S) e endo e ectoparasitos de cães domésticos da Área de Proteção Ambiental Morro da Pedreira (entorno do Parque Nacional). A Serra do Cipó está localizada no Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Entre os enteroparasitos encontrados em canídeos domésticos e silvestres, os táxons seguintes, Ancylostomidae, Trichuridae, Toxocara sp., Spirocerca sp., Physaloptera sp., Strongyloides sp., Cestoda, Dipylidium caninum, Diphyllobothriidae, Hymenolepidae, Anoplocephalidae, Trematoda, Acanthocephala e Isospora sp. foram identificados. Cães domésticos foram positivos para leishmaniose e Babesia canis nos testes sorológicos. Entre os ectoparasitos, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Amblyomma cajennense, Ctenocephalides felis felis foram observados em cães domésticos. Variações na quetotaxia do metepisterno e tíbia posterior foram observados em alguns espécimes de C. felis felis.

“…However, this author considered the species to be 'species dubiae'. Travassos (1917) considered E. pardalis to be the type species of the genus Pardalis, but subsequently (1918) transferred it to the genus Echinopardalis. Schmidt (1972) proposed a new classification, and considered the genus Echinopardalis to be a synonym of Oligacanthorhynchus Travassos, 1915.…”

“…pardalis was assigned to the genus Oligacanthorhynchus, an arrangement supported by Amin (1985). Travassos (1917) provided morphometric measurements on P. pardalis collected from different species of felines in southern and southeastern Brazil: Felis (Uncia) concolor (= Puma concolor Linnaeus, 1771), Felis (Leopardus) onça (= Panthera onca Linnaeus, 1758), Felis (Onçoides) tigrina (= Leopardus tigrinus Schreber, 1775),…”
